Enclosure:

I posted a sample script that, if installed, disables Microsoft Smart Tags by adding a <meta> tag to every HTML page we serve.

First I want to get feedback, and then decide how to deploy it. I only installed it on one of our servers, but we will install it on all of them and will provide a way for Manila webmasters to enable Smart Tags. (They will be off by default.)

I also started a new website to coordinate work for all environments. We were first, but many others are working on this for all kinds of serving environments.

There are responses to this message:

I like the reversal of MS's opt-out to opt-in instead. I was going to do something similiar. btw - the gem of the script isn't there, but I'll copy it off the gif for now.
